This invention relates to apparatus for playing a table game of hockey.

The invention comprises a flat board surrounded by sides box fashion, with goals at 5 each end, in the form of square holes cut in the upright ends, the sides being formed with a depression at the middle fitted with loops of strap through which the playing sticks are inserted.

The game is played in a known manner with a disk to represent the ball, also as-has already been proposed in] board games played with sticks through side apertures, the corners may be fitted with filling pieces at the angles if found necessary.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the nature of the invention. To prevent the disk becoming jammed in the corners by the sticks, the corners of the board may be filled in with solidwood blocks B. The strap prevents the too rough or free use of the stick, while at the same time allowing the player to gethis stick into all the corners of the board. The strap must be of justsulficient length to allow the movement of the stick in such a way as to reach the two near side corners, which would otherwise be out of the play for the one player, as the stick A TABLE GAME OF HOCKEY.
